Vocore 5 Inch Sim Dash - Flat front and open LED remix

This model incorporates the design updates of @MatteoSoligo's original VoCore 5" dash model by @NickPeterson_1933744 with some new design changes to simplify the printing and facilitate variations found in the 8x1 led matrix when purchased on AliExpress.

The front case has been modified to remove the glare shroud (which isn't functional anyway) making it possible to print face down with very minimal sports. The supports are only required in the countersunk holes for the cap screws. The model could be further modified to make those flush and use button screws instead. I had planned to do this eventually, as this would also optionally allow you to print the shroud as well but without supports. I was happy with my final result though so never got around to doing that.

This model also includes a modified rear case to add a support stand for the internal usb hub and provide cut outs for rear magnet mounts. The magnet holes are 10mm x 2.5mm, as the magnets I purchased for this from Bunnings in Australia were 9x1.5 with adhesive tape.

I also included the files for an adjustable mount for use with a Fanatec base. The mount and back plate allow for a two position height of the dash. In the lower position, I can use it with my P1V2 wheel and in the higher position (only using the top magnets with the bottom magnets on the dash) it is positioned well for use with an Formula V2 wheel.

The magnetic interface allows for easy and fast adjustment of the positioning of the display, and the height of the mount does not interfere with monitor visibility when the display is removed (I have printed a second magnet mount to sit on the left side of my rig when driving cars I need to use the in game dash for).

For those wondering, soldering and configuring the Arduino is all done through simhub, it's very simple to do! It will tell you which pins to solder which wires to and you can input how many LEDs are in the total chain.

Please check Nick's model for the list of parts you need to order (aside from the VoCore display).

Note: You do not need the brass inserts for this version. I reduced the hole size in the back to allow you to screw directly into the back housing simplifying the build process. I tapped mine first. 

BE CAREFUL with you VoCore display!!! They are extremely fragile around the outside! If you force it too hard you may crack and damage the display getting it in. I did not realise this the first time I assembled and did exactly that.

Print and assembly info -

Print 2 of the side LED spacers and diffusers, one diffuser for the rev strip but two spacers. Place the diffusers in from the back of the display front and then pop the spacers in behind.

I used design ideas from Nick's model using specific linked parts from AliExpress but made printing easier by removing the hood from the sim dash. I have also modified the way LEDs fit into the housing as there is a possibility you can get a development board when ordering the 8x1 matrix which has different spacing. 

I have also included a back plate that has been modified from the original design by Matteo to include the USB-C cutout introduced in Nick's model, but also now has an internal support for the usb hub and rear cutouts for magnets.

STEP files have been provided for all components.

Included the original mid frame for downloading convenience by Matteo - this part is unmodified.
